Varun played a crucial role in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 victory. Notably, he missed the first two matches in the tournament. Varun ended the tournament as India's leading wicket-taker. The 33-year-old took nine wickets in three games at an impressive average of 15.11 and an economy rate of 4.53.
India failed to qualify for the World Test Championship (WTC) final for the first time. The team will aim to carry their winning momentum into the England series and bounce back in red-ball cricket.

Varun Chakravarthy stated that he has no regrets about switching from pace bowling to spin. The Tamil Nadu cricketer started as a wicketkeeper before transitioning to fast bowling during college. However, an injury forced him to take up spin, which ultimately helped him reach the Indian team.
“No. That’s why I am here. I would’ve been stuck there had I bowled pace. There are so many pacers. Also, it doesn’t swing in Tamil Nadu wickets. They are spin-friendly wickets. So you can’t see many fast bowlers from Tamil Nadu," Varun said.
